Thought they were only like 100 as standard....what has yours had done to get 163?

There are some scum about these days. Hopefully you get it sorted and definitely avoid parking in the same car park again.

Im doing more and more miles at work so im tempted to oust the 200 and get a diesel.......never owned one but its getting to the point where its needed. A nice Audi A4 or BMW 320D does 50mpg average and performance figures are not exactly poor. Never thought I would get a Audi/BMW or even a...

A seat you have to get in and out of carefully...sounds awesome. My originals have no wear and I get in and out of them as I would any other car. Glad I don't have to tell passengers to get in the car 'carefully' otherwise the seats will eventually fall apart.

Everyone has opinions, doesn't make them fact. When I come to sell the 200 in a few years, it 'may' be slightly harder to sell but I will still sell it. I chose not to have the recaros as I didn't want them, I prefer the standard seats. It's pretty rude to call someones car 'pauper spec' and...

You say that but I had a Twingo a few years back and Renault were great when I took it in under warranty. I got a courtesy car for 2 days and they fixed the issue. I realise not every time is they going to happen but my experience was good. The only issue I am worried about is the gearbox one...

Warranty direct quoted me £700 for the 200, it's not even got 30k on the clock yet.

When I called Renault (and it also said this on the letter I got), that extended warranties through Renault can only be purchased if you are still in the term of your existing warranty. I.e, if you are out of the initial 3 year one, you can't purchase an extended one as there is nothing to...

Maybe £150

Right so... Previous to owning the 200, I had a Saxo VTS so idiots trying to race me was normal, although they tended to be boy racer sorts. However, now I have a 200, there seems to be an abundance of prats who see the car and for some reason try to prove their car is faster. Im joining the...

They can but most people are never going to buy a cosmetically poor condition car, no matter how well its been looked after mechanically. My housemate has a Black Corsa and the bodywork is a state, even after I took 5 hours to detail it for him. He reckons he is going to get 3 grand for...

Hello I keep getting a message popping up on the Sat Nav/Bluetooth display screen saying 'Low Battery'. Whats it referring to? The car? The keyfob? A device connected to it via blue tooth? Cheers

I wouldn't even waste my energy racing him, he should be embarrased for driving a boring and ugly car. I had a prius up my arse yesterday...yep a prius. I was doing 70mph in the fast lane of a dual carrage way (overtaking a HGV) and he was so close I could barely see his bumper. I just moved...

Seen a Gordini 200 in Maidstone before, could be the same one :)

Parking like a **** is going to increase the chances of somebody damaging your car on purpose....plenty of idiots out there.
